it would cause improper oil pressure which could cause gaskets and seals to bust. If you are talking about half a quart too much, that's nothing to worry about. but anything over 1 qt. too much and I would drain it.

Engine oil over fill where will it leak?

If you have over filled your engine oil, it will not "leak" unless you have completely filled the engine with oil and is pouring out where you put it in. However overfilling even as much as little as 1 quart can lead to catostophic engine damage as the crankshaft will spin into the oil in the pan causing it to foam and cause oil circulation problems throughout the engine leading to overheating and engine siezing.
